Building on emotional writing, crafty cynicism and melodic, yet melancholy verse Alex Holderness offers listeners an unusual glimpse into an unusual world. He brings to his lyrical pallet the grinding worlds of Capital Hill, Wall Street, and the fanatical, yet uninspiring world of the dot-comers. A graduate school education and pinstripe suit indoctrination left deep scars on this otherwise tender and emotionally vulnerable songwriter.

His songs suggest a man tormented by the need to verbally communicate in a world of deaf ears. His lyrics warn you right away that this is not going to be a routine emotional journey. This is real life and you know it immediately. Holderness quickly and effectively rips through your personal past with his softly persuasive, yet deeply mourning tone. Confident and curious in lyric, strong and melodic in song, his music finds home with both the angst of youth and the pause of age. Alex is the kind of artist you feel.
